formed q procession at their hall at 8
O'Clock 3. N. and proceeded to the
Cathedral il, full regalias, where, il, a
body, the members received Holy Com

green regalias have been seen in the
church in this city, and we hope it will
not be the last time. After Mass the

.. IN. the Cathedral was crowded with
different nationalties and denominations.

the cause OF the Catholic Church

Father Collins wonderfully impressed
the audience present on his views re-

with conoiseness and passionate ardor

the holy edifice was preventive against
the audience giving vent to their feelings
in great applause, but the restless spirit
plainly noticeable was sure sign Of their
agitation when points were touched

Wanted Il for a Crazy Quilt.

Governor Gray was one Of the most
astonished persons ever seen for few
moments the other afternoon. Among
the sight-secrs at the new State Capitol
building were two nicely dressed ladies
who. after meeting the Governor and
being shown through with great deal
Of courtesy, stopped before one of the
beautiful lambrequins, which cost some
thing over $500. and both modestly re-
quested that they be permitted to cut
'just small, little piece" as they
were both making "such lovely crazy
quilts" and they wanted so much to
have some of that lovely material in
them. II women could vote the Gov
ernor would surely lose those two
when the occasion presented itself.
After the ladies had somewhat hastily
departed, he said in conversation that
1t was remarkable what some people
would ask for. Only recently he was
asked to mail some of the ground OF
the State House yard to man in ILL
nois, who stated in his letter that he
had little dirt from the grounds OF
every State House in the Union except
Indiana. He got the dirt.-India'aap.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
Its Vocabulary the Most Heterogeneous
That Ever Existed.


That Ever Existed.
BY actual enumeration of the words
contained in the best dictionaries, it
has been ascertained that 1880 En-
glish words are of Saxon origin and
1854 of classical origin. In conse-
quence of the popular nature of the
Teutonic words in the language, the
Saxon element largely preponderates
in the works of our greatest writer's.
The pronouns, numerals. propositions
and auxiliary verbs, the names of the
elements and their changes. Of the
season, the heavenly bodies, the
divisions Of time, the features of natural
scenery, the organs of the body, the
modes of bodily action and posture,
the commonest animals, the words used
in earliest childhood, the ordinary
terms of traffic, the constituent words
in proverbs, the designations of kindred.
the simpler emotions of the mind, terms
Ofpleasantry, satire, contempt, indigna-
ton, invcctive and anger are, for the
most part, Of Saxon origin. Words in
dicating q more advanced civilization
and complex feelings, and most OF the
terms employed in art, science, mental
and moral philosophy are Of classical
origin. The English language, which
is now spoken by nearly ono hundred
millions of the earth's inhabitants, is
in its vocabulary one of the most het-
erogeneous that ever existed. There
Is, perhaps, no language 80 full Of
words, evidently derived from tho most
distant sources, IS English. Every
country Of the globe seems to have
brought some Of its verbal manufact-
ures To the intellectual market Of En-
gland; Latin. Greek, Hebrew. Celtic,

Ian, German-nay. even Hindustani,
Malay and Chinese words are mixed

MANURING POTATOES.
A Crop That Can He Materially Benefite,
by Commercial Fertilizers.


A fairly rich loamy soil, thoroughly
prepared, is the best for this crop. The
roots reach down rather deep into the
soil, and the plants require considerable
moisture. For this reason the soil should
be plowed deep and thoroughly. AS "a
rather rich soil is necessary to secure
the best results, the soil should be made
fine. SO that as large an amount OF
available plant food as possible will be
placed in condition to be used by the
plants.
Applying fresh coarse manure is very
much inclined to cause knotty, rough
growth. and for this reason fresh ma
nure should not be applied. If stale
manure is used, care should be taken
to have it well rotted, and then to thor
oughlyincorporate with the soil. Hav-
ing it fine before applying will aid con-
siderably in this. The potato crop is
one that very often can be materially
benefited by al application of unleached
ashes. One of the best ways to apply
these is to mark out the rows, running
the plow rather deep and then fine the
soil we'll in the bottom of the burrows.
Apply the ashes and work we'll into the
soil before planting the seed. This will
place them where the feeding roots of
the plants will be able to reach, them.
AS it requires but short time for the
roots to reach out considerable dis
tance. unless the ashes are thoroughly
incorporated with the soil. they will
soon extend far beyond it, and they will
fail to derive the benefit they should.
If commercial fertilizers are used, this
is also the best plan OF applying.
Taking the average crop raised on
the farm, as rule, it can not be con
sidered profitable to purchase CONNER
cial fertilizers and apply. The greater
portion OF the fertilizers used on the
farm should be made and saved by
feeding stock. II good thrifty stock is
kept and all the feed secured upon the
farm Is fed cut so as to secure the largest
gain at the lowest expense. and the ma
nure made. saved and applied, aided by
good system Of rotation, the fertility
OF the farm can be kept up without pur-
chasing manures.
More, perhaps, than with any other
crop, commercial fertilizers can l'e pur-
chased and used with potatoes, And
whore there is an insufficient supply of
manure, We may be able TO use the farm
manure to better advantage, and
commercial fertilizers be purchased and
used on the potato croP-Farm. Field

CLEANING wooLeNs.
The Result OF Various Scientific ExpeE
ments Made In Germany.

The Result OF Various Scientific Expert.
ments Made In Germany.
Experiments made in Germany on the
best method of cleaning woolens have
led to the following conclusions: First,
the liquid used for washing must be as
hot as possible; second, for the removal
of greasy dirt, sweat, etc.. borax is of
so little value that its application would
be mere waste, and, though soap lye is
better, the preference must be given to
soap lye along with ammonia, n mixture
which works wonders by quickly dis
solving dirt in particular parts which
are hard to cleanse, raising and reviv-
ing even bright colors; third, that on
the other hand. for cleaning white
wooden goods there is nothing which
even approaches borax-soap lye and
borax applied boiling hot give to white
woolens loOseness and dazzling
whiteness which they often do not pos
sess when they are new; fourth, II
shrinking is to be entirely avoided the
drying must be accelerated by repeat
edly pressing the woolens between soft
cloths. In no case should the woolens
be dried in the sun, as they become dry
and hard, they being best dried in a
moderate current Of air, and in cold
weather in warm place, but not too
near the source of heat. In the above
experiments all the various degrees Of
heat were tried, from the hottest tn the
coolest temperatures; all tho favoritc
cleaning materials were also employed

mixtures of these. y San. eqt
